Thanks Matthew. After four months on the sauce over the winter celebrating a group of stickball muldoons winning some trophy that only a handful of teams take seriously, I’m now working my way through the 12 steps.

While I’m here, in accordance with steps 8 and 9, I’d like to apologise to my good pal @Bandage. In my absence I see I was listed on the Posts of the Year thread for what was little more than a cheap shot at your running exploits. I hope you can forgive me, and instead focus your attentions on banning the 26 cunts that liked the post.
